I feel safe because I have lived there for a decent amount of time and I know the people fairly well. Crimes do not really occur too much around my neighborhood, except an occasional shooting. Police don't come around too much but they do show up when needed.

There are people who use every form of transportation. My neighborhood has options for all forms of transportation and all of the public transportation run frequently. There is congestion on the highways but that is normal. Some streets become congested but only during rush hour.
